Overview and Screenshots

Seafile 6 is a cloud-based file manager. It organizes files, backups them, and synchronizes between computers and mobile devices, working on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers and Android and iOS devices.

At the same time, you don't need to be online all the time to work on the most recent or most accessed files, just use cache options to work offline as well.

On the other hand, if you have a reliable Internet connection, you can extend your local disk space by adding Seafile storage space to it by mapping it as a virtual drive. Easy to understand and master user interface will make it quite simple, too.

Also, Seafile 6 is a great solution for teams working on/with the same files. You can join files in libraries and folders and then manage access to them, giving it to users or whole groups at the same time. Permissions include not only full access but read-only or read-write permissions, too. There are some security options (encryption, file locking, and password protection, for example) and link sharing which is very useful when some users don't have Seafile yet.

And that's not it: if you work in collaboration with someone, the question of the file versions becomes very important. Seafile 6 provides version history for files, so you can easily restore the earlier version if needed.

Finally, Seafile is great to use in an office as it can be integrated with Microsoft Office Online Server or Collabora Online server, supports most of the widely used document formats (including DOCX, PDF, XLSX), and has a built-in preview option for video and audio files, images, and plain text.
